Developed through a partnership between Amazon Conservation, Earth Genome, and the Pulitzer Center, Amazon Mining Watch is a one-stop shop for data and policy information, integrating timely detection of new mining areas using AI and machine learning with land designation data to help users assess whether an activity is likely unauthorized or illegal. It also combines an economic impact assessment tool, developed by the Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF), that estimates the socio-environmental costs of mining damage. Updated quarterly and enriched with case studies and policy briefs, the initiative counts on more than 10 partner organizations across the Amazon to strengthen on-the-ground vetting of data, advocacy campaigns, and enforcement efforts. This platform is advancing transparent and effective governance of gold mining across the region.

Developed by our Brazilian partners at Instituto Centro de Vida (ICV), ObservaREDD+ provides transparent and accessible data on the efforts of Amazonian states to combat deforestation and promote sustainable development, in order to empower researchers, policymakers, and the public with the information needed to track progress, ensure accountability, and support the conservation of the Amazon. The platform allows users to explore key dimensions of REDD+ implementation, including governance frameworks, deforestation reduction targets, and the crucial role of transparency and social participation. Amazon Conservation contributes vital policy analysis available in the platform.
Explore ObservaREDD+At Amazon Conservation, we are transforming how the world monitors, understands, and safeguards the Amazon by leveraging the latest advances in science, geospatial technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).
